What makes Private Walking Tour through the Historical City of Herculaneum a unique experience ?
Despite the centuries-old history, therefore, the excavations have brought to light only a part of the ancient city, so that much of the ancient Herculaneum is still buried underground, preserving, among other things, the entire forensic area, the sacred and civil buildings with their precious furnishings and decorative apparatuses.
Currently most of the archaeological park that can be visited consists, with the exception of the thermal baths and the gym, of private houses of the imperial age, characterized by a large typological variety: houses with a traditional layout, multi-family houses, large residences that develop part of their neighborhoods in dominant position on the sea and straddling the walls.
